Adding stout to a beef-burger mix gives a deeper flavour, plus it helps to bind the ingredients together.

Ingredients:

50g bread without crusts
3 tbsp Guinness
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 egg yolk, from a large egg
600g beef steak mince
1 tbsp sunflower oil
¼ cucumber, thinly sliced
6 seeded burger buns, halved
lettuce, optional
2 whole pickled gherkins, sliced, optional
Guinness cheese sauce (optional)

Method:

Break the bread into small pieces and put in a large bowl with 3 tbsp Guinness. Se aside to soak for 10 minutes, then add the mustard and egg yolk and mash with a fork.

Add in the beef mince and season with salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Mix with your hands until just evenly mixed — don't mix more than necessary.

Rinse your hands with water but don't dry them and use the wet hands and shape the beef into 6 burgers. Set on a tray lined with clingfilm and cover with more clingfilm. Transfer to your refrigerator and chill for for at least 15 minutes.

Remove the burgers from the refrigerator 10 minutes before cooking — this ensures that the burgers will cook more evenly. Brush the burgers lightly on both sides with oil, then cook in a non-stick griddle pan or frying pan, over a medium heat, for about 5 minutes on each side.

Cut the buns in half and fill with lettuce, burgers, dill, cucumber and the sauce.
